Maggie Shackelford

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

You are running on fumes. As the go-to person, everyone needs you because you’re the fixer. But the internal and external noise and never-ending to-do list has left you fragmented and overwhelmed.

The idea of saying “no” feels impossible. And the idea of saying “yes” to one more damn thing fills you with dread and resentment. You feel so much pressure to hold it together, but it’s too much. You want to feel peace, ease, and create more balance.

How would it feel to set boundaries, prioritize yourself, and break patterns - your own and generational cycles - that no longer serve you?

    I specialize in maternal mental health. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health (PMH-C), including specialized training in perinatal grief and loss. I am privileged to support moms navigate the vulnerable, layered, and complex matrescence journey and find their way in motherhood.

    I love to support people-pleasers and perfectionists identify the roots of these behavioral patterns, learn to set boundaries, and prioritize their needs and wellbeing. I also love working with people managing negative body image and internalized fatphobia. There is an intersection of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and internalized fatphobia in the motherhood space.

I encourage you to reach out to schedule a free consultation. You’re worth the time. I look forward to connecting.
